Zachary Stacer is charged with two counts of assault with intent to do great bodily harm, three counts of felonious assault and five counts of resisting and obstructing a police officer.
The backstory:
The alleged incidents occurred June 22 and twice on July 12.
According to investigators, officers responded just before 4:15 p.m. on June 22 to the area of Grand River Avenue and West Warren Avenue after observing heavy traffic caused by a street takeover. While officers were attempting to disperse the crowd, Stacer allegedly approached a patrol vehicle, discharged a fire extinguisher at the officers and fled the scene.

Officers first responded at 12:02 a.m. to the area of Van Dyke Avenue and Charlevoix Street, then again at 3:06 a.m. to Grand River Avenue and McGraw Street following reports of drag racing. In both cases, investigators allege Stacer approached a police vehicle, discharged a fire extinguisher at officers and fled.
